If you are hosting an online store on your Micfo account and you want to start accepting or continue accepting credit cards -- BEWARE. Your credit card processor will eventually require you to verify that you are PCI Compliant under the new standards implemented by Visa and Mastercard and you will fail the PCI Compliance test because Micfo has not upgraded to PHP 5.2.9.

I just got scanned for PCI Compliance and was told that I needed my host to upgrade to PHP 5.2.9. I contacted Micfo about this and they refuse to upgrade. They said "if you want to use php 5.2.9 then you will need to upgrade your hosting plan to VPS/semi-dedicated hosting or dedicated server hosting with us."

I am so annoyed by this. I paid them $200 for a "lifetime" hosting account a little over a year ago and I also pay for a dedicated IP. Now they want me to pay them an additional $34.95 per month if I want my site to be hosted on a server that meets basic levels of security.

I will be forced to move my site to a new host because of this. If I do not become PCI compliant, I will be fined by my credit card processor. It is completely ridiculous that Micfo is putting its customers in this position.
